My Deka 8D's are actually listed at 246Ah vs the GC2's 180Ah giving me 30% more capacity for 12% more cost. The fit was just a plus! Around here, Trojan is the preferred poor man's battery in the flooded variety, but the East Penn line is easier and cheaper for me to get in AGM's. Since they are virtually sealed, storage is super easy to get at in the front cabinet where the optional generator would have been installed.
Looking at it over again, I would have just done the led's first negating the need for the third battery. I went from 96Ah with every light on down to 26Ah with way more available light with the led's. I did almost all the lights except for the outside scare lights and the halogen back up lights since the rarely run anyway.
Interesting....how are you able to measure the before and after effects of the light swap? What kind of meter do I need to invest in to gather this kind of useful information and what other uses would the meter have? I like gadgets! :)
I have the BMK or Battery Monitor Kit added to my Magnum inverter remote. It allows me to see all kinds of data about my system at a glance. There are many of the same type of stand alone units available if you don't plan to add an inverter.
